Use the activities to meet goals for these classroom language skills. Each lesson progresses in this order:

Activity 1— Students listen to a three-part story and follow along by looking at the story illustrations. Then, they answer wh- questions about the story. There are three levels of question difficulty:

Level 1— basic content questions

Level 2— inference questions

Level 3— problem-solving, predicting, and expansion questions

Activity 2—Students construct their own story loosely based on the story in the first activity. Wh- questions help them plan their narrative. Students choose pictures included in each lesson to illustrate their story.

Activity 3—Students sequence the pictures they selected in Activity 2 to make a three-, four-, or five-part story and glue them on the activity page. Students tell their story (with the therapist providing question prompts as needed). Personal application questions give students practice in relating information and experiences. Use the question prompts to delve deeper into complex wh- question forms and develop skills for problem solving, memory, inferencing, and predicting.
